I've said this before but it's worth often repeating: music is some of the closest we can come to experiencing what it feels like to be part of divinity.

This is *why* music is a thing.

Actually lemme just add that to my bio since apparently I have more characters now:

"Follows reqs more likely to be accepted if we interact first. Talking to me is encouraged even if I don't follow back."

Is there even a way to get to pending follower requests without clicking on the email link?

Solstice nears.

Can anyone (ideally a german speaker?) figure out if it's possibly to get this website to spit out a file for 3d printing? Source implied yes, but it seems half-broken and auto-translate isn't helping as much as I'd like.

Two years or so I asked a partner to define poststructuralism, and he answered "y'know what I literally went to grad school to study that and I'm still not sure I could tell you."

If I were to take a very reductive stab at it, I'd say it's the notion that our concept of anything having inherent and inviolate essential meaning is a fake idea.

Also there's no gilligan's island coconut radios nonsense. The height of technology is "I found a sewing kit, so I'm gonna cannibalize one pair of wool socks to fix the holes in the other one."

The Long Dark is a great game in part because it makes you always, always have to be thinking about taking care of problems on the bottom end of the hierarchy of needs.

Warmth, water, food, fuel. Even if you're doing some other task you need to be constantly be mindful of providing yourself with the very basics.

Being adjacent to the Walking Simulator genre means the game gives you time to think about these things, not just rush to immediately solve them.

Fox vocalizations, or, "why does it sound like there's a demon baby in the woods??"

Signed, me, in an unfamiliar part of town and missing every turn while juggling my phone in my lap.

Full moon being scudding clouds. Beautiful.

Aiaiaiaiai!

Programming note 2: Initially it kinda sounds like one of the players is doing a gay stereotype for his character voice. He later clarified that the voice is based on that of am actual (straight) friend of his.

Earlyish the show makes a couple of minor mis-steps with regards to queer representation, but actually *listened to feedback* and ends up having some great queer characters.

Programming notes: the show is absolutely finding it's feet for the first couple of arcs. You should know whether it's your jam or not by, I'd say, the end of episode 8. Yeah I know that's a fairly big time ask but it's worth it.

I didn't expect that a podcast where three professional comedians and their dad play D&D would end up having a plot that's leaving me on the edge of my seat, but now I'm 49 episodes in and absolutely loving it.

The Adventure Zone is good and you should listen to it.
